WILL EX-KAISER'S TRIAL |l BE WORTH WHILE. London, July 7?Will the kaiser's ( trial be worth while? After the first outburst of jubilation and what was considered righteous satisfaction, following Prtluitr Lloyd Ueorge's announcement, sooe. ?' second thought here has begun ioj' raise this question, which is emp.-wi i? sized by developments in Germany. ' Not only ex-Chancellor von nem-J' mann Hollweg and Fielu Marshall |< von Hindenburg are racing to assume 1 resposibility attributed to Welhelic ? Hohenzollern, but latest Eerlin cii.s- * patches record Prince Eitel Fredrichs s messages to King George, making a t grand gesture of filial devotion for |' himself and his brothers, offering tt 11 sacrifice themselves to save their tatn- ; er. However, scornfully the Prussion 1 princes offer may be ri^elved in al- 1 lied countries, publicists here see in s the first serious step toward building r up a "Welhelm tho Martyr'' legend c among Germans. j* If this be the first step, what wil.i^ be said and done when William is a |1 prisoner, either in the Tower of kon-j0 don or whe|n, alone and broken, he 3 faces an international high court con- ? stituted by his enemies to answer foi ' the crimes of all Germany. These are s some of thq questions thoughtful ob- r servers are asking themselves. |e r* ic HrmhtPft whether the Germans ^ believing themselves emanciated from v kaiserism can withstand the appeal to a ttieir sentinentality of this whitehead- . ed, broken idol, alone facing the world's bar. 8 Th| observer, quoting "an authorit ? ati%'e statesman" recalls the paraellel j1 of France's resentment of Napoleon's banishment to Elba a hundred years,8 ago. Commander Kenworthy, M. P. said ^ today: L 'Such trial will give the Germans' a handle against us ever afterward to'* say that we did not give the kaiser ,p a fair trial. So try the kaiser beforjl an allied court will be the greater, blunder because accusers and judg .- j. will be the! same. If there is to be : trial at all, it should be at the Hat.u or at Geneva, before distinguish .i v' neutral judges, the best obtainable."^ Lawyers here have begun to point 0 out that the question of legal pro j. cedure is of the greatest difhcul'v j, Article 227 of the treaty with Gcr- in" many provides for five judgeti, or,' v from each power.

Ip Thus, an international high court a would have to construct beforehand ci its own rules of evidence, and that is tl difficult because of the different f; training of the variouJ judges. ci Then there is the q*festion whether the ex-Monarch will be allowed tc e choose his counsel, or whether his de- 0 fenders are to be assigned by the ^ court that will try him.

J. REYNl DAKIilXGTOX CROPS RIl'XEI) BY I*OTASH. L'otton ami Tobacco Fields Laid Waste. I'he State: "I found a calamitous condition in i large section of Darlington County which I visited," said Dr. A. C. Summers Saturday upon his return 'rom a trip of inspection which he nade as State chemist at the request >f Commissioner Harris. It has been eported to the State department of igriculture that a large number of armers in Darlington county had iuffered because of the purchase and lse of the socalled American potash, md the department was urged by Bright Williamson to make some investigation. Mr. Williamson, who is a banker md plants extensively himself, had nade a preliminary investigation to iee if there were any cause for so nany different fields of tobacco and :otton dying and withering In hi*' etter informing the department Mr. Williamson said, "the result of the ise of domestic potash on tobacco ind cotton showing up now is mos* .larming. Where 75 pounds per acre if K20 was used on tobacco there s prdctically none, and the effect ir erious on cotton. Where 40 to 50 ?ounds of K20 was used there is genTally about one half stand of tobaco. Where smaller quantities of K20 vere used, the effect is not noticeible." Dr. Summers states that Mr. Wilianison presented the matter conervatively. The loss in Darlington ounty alone, will run up into the lundreds of thousands. Other coun ies in the state have not reported nd they may not be affected as seiously, but in Darlington, through he activity of J. M. Napier and Mr. Williamson an effort has been made o locates all of the fields affected, i 'here have been individual cases re-1 orted from other counties. Dr. Summers endorses the statelent of Mr. Williamson that "the vidence of the poisonous and disasrous res.1 Its of the use of potash is ositive. overwhelming and spectacuir." It can not be alleged that the rideppread destruction, for by a proess of elimination it was shown that ne part of a field where the potash ad been spread has suffered great-' y while in another part where. Ger- j ian kainit or other forms of potash I rere used the plant life was healthy and the amount of moisture over le entire community was the, same. "I never witnessed such ruin In the ields from causes other than the most estructive hail storms," said Dr. ummers.- "One farmer had lost all f his tobacco planting on one piece f land and he then plowed it and lanted cotton. The cotton germinated nd grew very well until the roots time in contact with the potash in tie soil and the plants died. This inner is trying cowpeas to see if that rop will produce. "I think that the poison will be radicated from the soil in the course > f a year. I observed that where there ad been heavy rains since the putmg down of the potash that the oison seemed to have leeched out j some extent. We are making exeriments in our laboratories and 'ill know by Monday more of the tiemical nature of this American potsh. "At a meeting of the cotton farinrs in New Orleans about two months go an effort was made to get the overnment not to put a heavy tariff pon German potash. This effort was tiled by the agency of the men'injrested in American potash.

A Few Kejisons Why Kvery Farmer Bj Should Cirow Soy Beans. 1. They are fine for feed and fine 111 for fertility. 2. Time of planting extends iron, |H early spring until mid-summer, de- [BE pending on latitude and use to be'H made of the crop. ul 3. For grain or as a main hay IK crop, the best time is about that for K planting corn, when the ground has H become thoroughly warm. S9 4. As a pasture, green manure. Hj 'soiling or even as a hay crop, the soy H bean may bt? sown as late as August 5. Soy beans are more generally B grown with corn than with any oth- B er crop and may be combined ad- H vantageously in many systems of X crop rotations. B 6. The growing of soy bean seed|H enables the farmer to produce at a B moderate cost, part of the high pro- B tein concentrates necessary for stock B feed and milk production. R 7. Soy bean straw is a valuable B feed for all kinds of stock. R 8. The soy bean will yield from R one to three tons of hay to the acre. H 9. Soy bean hay is equal or su- B pefior to any other leguminous crop. B The use of this hay as a source of B protein to balance feeds for growing H stock or for milk, should reduce the B quantity of high priced concentrated B feeds which it is necessary to pur chase,. wf 10. The soy bean can be utiliz ed as a pasture for all kinds of stock B the most profitable method perhaps B being to pasture with hogs, supple- w menting the corn ration. ?ffl For complete information about ff| this valuable crop, if you are a North I Carolina farmer, write the Division E of Agriculture at Raleigh, N.
